Question 1

How does the word counter work?

Accepted Answer

Our tool analyzes the text you enter in real-time. It uses common rules to identify words (sequences of characters separated by spaces), sentences (ending with a period, question mark, or exclamation point), and paragraphs (separated by line breaks).

Question 2

Is this word counter free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this tool is completely free. There are no limits on usage, and you do not need to sign up or register. All counting and analysis happens directly in your browser.

Question 3

Is my text saved on your servers?

Accepted Answer

No, your privacy is our priority. The entire counting process is done on your device (client-side). Your text is never sent to or stored on our servers.

Question 4

How is reading time calculated?

Accepted Answer

Reading time is estimated based on the average reading speed of an adult, which is typically around 225 words per minute (WPM). The total word count of your text is divided by this average to provide a close estimate.

Question 5

What's the difference between character counts?

Accepted Answer

We provide two character counts. The first includes all characters, including spaces and line breaks. The second, 'characters without spaces', gives you the count of only the letters, numbers, and punctuation, which is often required for specific applications like social media character limits.
